Vintage Character The 2023 Domaine Larue Puligny Montrachet 'Sous le Puits' Premier Cru highlights the superb tension of high-altitude Burgundian terroirs. A warm growing season with a generous harvest in 2023 produced grapes with excellent ripeness balanced by vibrant acidity, thanks to a sunny summer and timely picking. Situated at the highest elevation of the appellation near Blagny on stony clay-limestone soils, the 'Sous le Puits' climat benefits from cooler nights that preserve freshness, imparting a distinctive, mineral-driven backbone.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This Premier Cru Chardonnay opens with refined aromas of crisp green apple, white peach, and white flowers, complemented by subtle undertones of fresh butter and toasted almonds. On the palate, a silky texture is supported by lively, linear acidity and a saline, crushed-stone minerality that extends into a long finish. This vibrant white Burgundy pairs beautifully with pan-seared sea scallops in a lemon-butter sauce, roasted pheasant, or Cantonese steamed turbot.
Winery Background Based in Saint Aubin, Domaine Larue is a multi-generational family estate respected for their precise, terroir-focused wines. They employ sustainable viticultural practices and hand-harvesting to ensure only the healthiest fruit from their small 0.36-hectare parcel enters the cellar. Through minimal intervention and gentle aging in French oak, they capture the pure, energetic expression of the grape, crafting a benchmark wine of outstanding character.
